(guitar solo)
(Choir group viking)
(Verse 1)
Under skies of dying gray
An old warrior stands alone today
Cold wind cuts across the stone
The northern sea becomes his throne
Silver hair in storms untamed
Eyes that carry endless pain
Scars of battles, blood and fire
Ashes of a fallen empire
In his hand an ancient blade
Runes that time could never fade
Broken shield of oak and war
Still remembers what came before
Behind him burns the village light
Smoke ascends into the night
Far away through waves and rain
Black sail drakkars come again
(Pre-Chorus)
He hears the ravens call his name
From frozen halls beyond the flame
The gods are watching from the sky
Waiting for the old wolf to die
(Chorus)
Raise the thunder, raise the steel
Let the northern oceans feel
The fury of the old king’s cry
Tonight we fight, tonight we die
Storms are roaring through the dark
Fire lives inside his heart
From the ashes he will rise
Under cold immortal skies
(Verse 2)
Slowly turns against the tide
Ghosts of brothers by his side
Drums are beating deep and low
Like the heartbeat of the snow
Ancient voices fill the air
Songs of warriors everywhere
Every breath becomes a prayer
To the gods that still stand there
He closes weary burning eyes
Feels the frost beneath the skies
Speaks in silence to the dead
To every soul the battle fed
Then he strikes the axe below
Into frozen earth and snow
Echoes shake the cliffs and sea
Like a beast that’s breaking free
(Pre-Chorus)
The wolves awaken in the storm
The northern wrath begins reborn
The mountains tremble at the sound
Of warriors rising from the ground
(Chorus)
Raise the thunder, raise the steel
Let the northern oceans feel
The fury of the old king’s cry
Tonight we fight, tonight we die
Storms are roaring through the dark
Fire lives inside his heart
From the ashes he will rise
Under cold immortal skies
(Bridge)
Waves are crashing onto stone
Yet the old wolf stands alone
Flames reflect inside his eyes
As the last red daylight dies
Marching shadows cross the shore
(Acoustic guitar)
Death is knocking at the door
Still he laughs into the rain
For a Viking fears no pain
Hear the choir, hear the drums
Feel the wrath that finally comes
Through the smoke and through the night
He was born again to fight
(Final Chorus)
Raise the thunder, raise the steel
Let the frozen heavens kneel
Hear the old king’s final cry
Legends never truly die
Blackened oceans, burning skies
Still the northern spirit flies
From Valhalla voices rise
Under cold immortal skies
(Outro)
Under gray eternal rain
The old warrior remains
Standing proud above the sea
Forever bound to victory.
